Growing & Maintenance Tips for Iris sibirica 'Purring Tiger'
Siberian Irises prefer full sun but tolerate part shade, especially in warmer climates. Plant in rich, consistently moist, moderately acidic soil (pH 5.2–6.4). Deadheading will not extend bloom time. Allow established clumps to remain undisturbed until flowering declines, then divide in fall or spring. New divisions may take two to three years to fully establish and bloom heavily.
